Well, multitasking is something that's very advantageous if you're good at it. But very few actually are. Most of us need to get our work done with utmost concentration.
While this is true, at present times you also have to be Jack of all trades and Master of one. So, to become Jack of all trades you have to pay attention to several matters at the same time.

So can you multitask?
Ummm... if by multitasking you mean that attending the phone and typing on the computer at the same time, then no I can't do that. I've read that only gals can do it and guys can't. But time management which is also called multitasking in jobs, that I can do and in fact have to do at work.

Was it naturally in you or did you have to train yourself?
No I learnt it because our work demands it. At times we handle more than 5 research projects and to efficiently handle them all and complete them within deadlines we have to multitask or rather as I said manage time prudently.

Do you feel since your attention is divided you might not be able to get everything done with perfection?
I guess, you are talking about doing two things simultaneously. Well, I haven't done that but I guess if I tried that then I won't get any of them completed.

While you're multitasking do you ever forget about one other thing you were doing because you got too involved in some other work?
Well while managing time it doesn't happen to me. I won't say it has never happened, because in the beginning when I just started working I sometimes used to forget something because of being too engrossed in another work. But not anymore. And moreover, I have more help now too. So, I usually allot what has to be done and most of the time all I have to do is follow up from time to time on the progress of the work.
Enjoy discussing!

Yes, I can. In fact, I'm always doing multiple things at a time.... Posting stuff on IF, chatting on MSN, making creations. Other times I'm studying and listening to music or watching TV at the same time and so on.
